Summary

In a Fox News interview, Elon Musk and Sean Hannity repeatedly talked over Donald Trump, sidelining him in a discussion about government efficiency.

Musk dominated the conversation, warning of national bankruptcy and presenting himself as a savior.

Hannity largely directed questions to Musk, while Trump struggled to interject.

The awkward exchange fueled speculation about Musk’s influence, with some questioning who is really in charge.

    Vance would be worse. He is an actual politician and a believer in the Project 2025 bull shit. Trump probably would not have even run if he had not been staring down 100 barrels of jail time.

      I don’t doubt the notion that 2016 Trump ran as a grift and wasn’t really hoping or expecting to win, but 2020 and 2024 Trump had tasted power and definitely wanted it back, in addition to staring down 100 barrels of jail time.
